In the opening episode of the Bullyologist Podcast, host Jessica Hickman introduces herself as the founder of Bullyology and author of The Bullyologist: Breaking the Silence on Bullying. She recounts her three‑and‑a‑half‑year ordeal of severe workplace bullying that culminated in a health crisis, explaining how she chose to let the adversity shape rather than break her. Hickman outlines her mission to educate individuals and businesses about the damaging personal and organizational effects of bullying. She highlights her achievements—building a global business, speaking on major stages, conducting workshops across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., publishing a book, and creating an online course—while positioning the podcast as a new platform for sharing light, learning, and education. The episode concludes with a call to action: listeners are urged to download, share, and follow her on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and the Bullyology website to access the book, course, and further resources.

Chapters

Welcome to the Bullyologist Podcast. I am your host, Jessica Hickman, founder of Bullyology, author of the book The Bullyologist: Breaking the Silence on Bullying. My work and mission aims to educate people on the damaging effects of bullying to personal and business success. After suffering extensive workplace bullying for 3 and a half years, which eventually led me to lay in a hospital bed on the other side of the world from friends and family, my physical and mental health spiralled. It's time to speak up about this topic and talk about the elephant in the room. You have two options during adversity. The first is to let it break you. The second is to let it make you. I chose the latter. Today I'm extremely grateful for this experience, which has positively shaped the pathway for my future. In the last year, I've embarked on a journey of healing while building a global business, speaking on some of the biggest stages across the world, running workshops from Chicago to Canada to the UK, and writing a book, which is one of my biggest achievements. And of course, building my business Bullyology and making the Bullyologist a household name. Along that journey, I've grown massively as a person, conquering many of my darkest fears And I've met some interesting, inspiring people along the way that have really helped me and educated me on how to go on this scary but exciting journey. And finally, I am breaking my fear to create this podcast and bring some light, learning, and education to the listeners. I see myself as a student of life. Every day I'm learning and growing, and as the saying goes, If we don't grow, we're dying. Thank you, and enjoy this journey with me. Please don't forget to download and share this with your friends, colleagues, family, and children. You can reach me on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and visit the Bullyology website, where you can have access to my book and amazing online course. I am here to break the silence on bullying. Please join me on my mission.
